Would you peel the skin off of a newborn baby?

Do they need a formal invitation in the religion subforum?

No, I was just wondering if you invited them.

 

[Crunchy Cat]

Why isn't this in the cesspool?

If this question was made about Moslems, it would be gone in a heart beat, so would a Moslem Peel the skin off a New Born Baby if Allah appeared to them and told them to do so?

Are you a theist Buffalo? If so, what would you do with respect to your 'God' and newborn baby flaying?

 

[Michael]

Certainly not.. lol

Are you sure??? If all of Humanity were at stake?
Maybe you could get away with just taking a very thin layer - you know like a good scrub

Michael

Also, who is you avatar? If that's your gf she's hot

 

[Michael]

I wouldn't, if he asked you what would you do?

If I knew for a fact that all of humanity would be killed as a result of me not doing so? Being atheist and suddenly turning theist - I think probably my mind would meltdown

Sure. I would even chop them up into little itty bitty pieces, in fact I may have to tear them out of their mothers wombs first and then chop them up (after twisting the mothers necks and killing them)

All in a days work (ie no need for divine intervention)

Anyone here read Pulitzer prize winning The Road.
The hero watches 2 men and a pregnant woman walking down the road. They hear him and scurry into the woods. Later he come across their campsite.
Horrifying.

You should write book reviews

I'll put in my Amazon list

He deserved the award for it. Its haunting and sadly, its what I could envision happening at the end of the world.

 

[lightgigantic]

So, you deny objective reality ?

No
but I deny it can be indicated by empiricism alone - mainly because what we know as empirical disappears at one end at the macroscopic and the other end at the microscopic
for instance what is a cup of flour in terms of objective reality?

 

[Crunchy Cat]

Thanks everyone for participating in the poll. It would be great if the theists out there could add some more poll responses .

That doesn't matter, you don't have to know everything there is to know about objective reality to see that it doesn't involve ethics..

 

[lightgigantic]

if you can't establish what a cup of flour is objectively its not clear that you can know anything
:shrug:

Look, ethics are subjective. How would they fit in objective reality ? :bugeye:

 

[lightgigantic]

do you mean to say there is no rational explanation for how ethics could be objective?

 

[Enmos]

do you mean to say there is no rational explanation for how ethics could be objective?

Unless you can show me otherwise.. :shrug:

 

[lightgigantic]

Unless you can show me otherwise.. :shrug:

so suppose we are discussing justice
do you mean to say there is no way to establish an essential understanding of it?

Not objectively. What is justice in one culture is not in another.
Justice is subjective.

Would you peel the skin off a baby if the survival of all of humanity itself were at stake?

Nope.

If the only way I could save humanity was to skin a live baby (according to whatever deity), then humanity would not be worth saving... especially if humanity then went on and venerated the deity.
